BlockDev AIKON ORE Project Launch Party

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us for food and drink to celebrate the launch of AIKON’s Open Rights Exchange (ORE) protocol, the first live project to build an API marketplace on the blockchain, and meet the AIKON Founders & Engineers after BlockDev conference.
AIKON is thrilled to announce that the open-source ORE protocol has successfully been tested with our first Alpha partner and we are eager to share how developers can participate in the ORE network to purchase or profit from APIs with ease.
The AIKON founding team will be at the event to chat with developers:
 Stefan Roever, co-founder and CEO of AIKON
A serial entrepreneur, Stefan has founded multiple successful global startups, including Genia Technologies, a DNA sequencing company (which sold to Roche for $350 million), OnCircle, an online content syndication platform, and Brokat Technologies, an encryption and banking software company which reached a NASDAQ multibillion dollar market cap. Stefan is a popular conference speaker and has been honored with awards from the Ernst and Young for Entrepreneur of the Year and twice from the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer.
Betsabe Martinez, co-founder and CFO
As a leading international fintech expert and an advocate for economic equality worldwide, Betsabe has held various senior positions at renowned and leading-edge organizations including Kueski, Mexico’s largest fintech startup, Lending Club, largest peer to peer lending marketplace, and Citigroup, at Citi Community Development and Financial Inclusion. Today, Betsabe brings her fintech expertise and lifelong mission together as CFO of AIKON to launch new technology with the power to dismantle biases from opportunity and innovation worldwide. Betsabe has served on the advisory board at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center and is a fellow for the British America Project.
Marc Blinder, co-founder and CPO
With a degree in Political Science from Princeton, Marc’s career began as a political operative in the rough and tumble world of California elections before he switched to the tech industry. He ran his first company at 28 years old, a social network called Mobileplay (which he sold to Good Technology) and became Creative Director at Context Optional which sold to Efficient Frontier for $50M. At Efficient Frontier, Marc set up the social business across EMEA before the company was acquired by Adobe for $400M. Over the years, he also authored multiple patents and a few plays.
Tray Lewin, CTO
A serial startup founder, enterprising developer Tray Lewin has learned the value of pursuing a deeper mission. While running a voter election software startup, Tray realized that being CEO required a mastery of multitasking that didn’t include the things he loved most: product and coding. Pivoting his work into purely tech-driven startups, Tray honed in on his passion to create technology that better serves the user. As AIKON’s CTO, Tray acts as the brain trust for how real people use technology in the vast landscape of opportunities on the blockchain.
Gretchen Fox, CMO
Gretchen Fox is the CMO of AIKON, where she is focused on sharing the company’s mission of creating an equal-access economy and achieving product market fit. As the Founder of values-driven MTO Agency and MTO EDU, creating values-based brands has become a hallmark of her work. Prior to launching MTO, she served as Vice President of Social at Live Nation and Ticketmaster, where she generated over $20 Million annual revenue through social media. Gretchen pioneered the social media marketing space, leading innovative marketing initiatives for some of the world’s largest sport properties, including Wimbledon, IndyCar Race Control, and NBC’s Winter Olympics.
In addition to meeting Team AIKON, all developers in attendance will be given 50 ORE tokens to test out the ORE protocol in the upcoming sandbox launch.
